weekend custody
Part-time parental arrangement
Weekend custody is a common child custody arrangement where one parent has the children primarily on weekends while the other has them during the week.
The term appears frequently in divorce and separation contexts: He has weekend custody, so he picks them up Friday after school.
The arrangement often reflects work schedules or attempts to maintain relationships with both parents.
